"Your Majesty, I think that your actions will definitely be in vain. It's like a farmer being ordered to read the Kutaramanawa book or a brahmin being ordered to plow the fields! That's how I describe Nambi's appointment as the governor of Amangkubhumi of the Majapahit kingdom! servant who deserves to be considered. Not Nambi who is stupid, weak, humble, cowardly and not authoritative. Without Lembu Sora and Lawe, the Majapahit kingdom would surely collapse
...!"
Like a thunderbolt breaking out in the middle of a dry day, thunder rumbled the roof frames, the pegs and pillars of the great pavilion of the Majapahit palace. And the feelings of the ministers, signs, governors, regents, tumenggung and all the royal inmates who were present at the big meeting at the grand temple hall. They were fascinated by the loud words of Rangga Lawe, Duke of Tuban.
When he heard that Nambi was appointed Patih Amangkubhumi of the Majapahit kingdom, the Duke of Tuban immediately ran his horse as fast as the wind, heading to the Majapahit temple. In front of a full royal court, he opposed Nambi's appointment and ridiculed him. And with courage too, he denounced the wisdom of the king.
King Kertarajasa Jayawardhana gasped.
NAMBI is one of Raden Wijaya's kadehan who is loyal and has great services. He fought with Raden Wijaya to reclaim the Singasari temple which was occupied by the Daha troops until when Raden Wijaya, who was allied with the Tartar troops, attacked the Daha kingdom.
Then after successfully defeating Daha, Raden Wijaya then attacked the Tartars and expelled them from the homeland.
Nambi, the son of minister Pranaraja, also felt the bitterness of suffering when Raden Wijaya was being chased by Kebo Mundarang, the governor of the Daha kingdom. Singasari troops led by Raden Wijaya were attacked by Daha troops led by Kebo Mundarang, so they were scattered and scattered. At that time Raden Wijaya was accompanied by Lembu Sora, Gajah Pangon, Medang Dangdi. Mahesa Wagal, Nambi, Banyak Kapuk, Kebo Kapetengan, Wirota Wiragati and Pamandana, running across the newly plowed rice fields. The Daha soldiers still chased him. Raden Wijaya and his loyal followers could have been arrested by the prime minister Kebo Mundarang, if at that time a miraculous event had not occurred. When he was about to be arrested, Raden Wijaya stamped his feet on the ground. The squirting dirt fell onto Kebo Mundarang's chest and forehead.
Kebo Mundarang gasped and receded a few steps backwards. His chest felt as if it had been hit by a hammer. Both of his eyes felt like they were sprinkled with splashes of clay. He quickly covered his eyes with both hands. A few moments after the pain subsided, he let go of his hand. But Raden Wijaya and his men had disappeared into the forest.
Remembering the services of the loyal kadehans, after successfully building the Majapahit kingdom and being enthroned as the first Majapahit king, Raden Wijaya who was crowned king of Kertarajasa Jayawardhana returned the favor.
Rangga Lawe was appointed as the commander of Amancanagara in the northern coastal area, with the rank of Duke of Tuban and Dataran. The appointment was in accordance with his brilliant charity. In war, he is always willing to risk his life to be a safety shield for his lord and his troops. He is a senopati who is good at strategizing, brave and valiant. A descendant of Madura who has a hard and hot-blooded character.
Lembu Sora was appointed as the demang's rakryan. Likewise those who have contributed to Raden Wijaya's struggle so far, have been given the appropriate rank and position. Among them are Nambi as patih, Timpar as tumenggung, Blue Elephant, Emban, Semi, Lembu Peteng, Ikalikalan Bang, Juru Demung, Pamandana, Teguh, Tall, Derpana, Jabung Tarewes, Jaran Bangkai, Panji Semara, Lasem, Windan, Lembu Pawagal, Kebo Andaka, Gajah Lembana, Gajah Enggon, Gajah Gambura, Liman Aguling, Panji Crow Sumiring, Panji Anengah, Kebojammpira and others, have been given positions according to their services and skills.
The kadehan were very grateful to the king. The more trusting they were, the more the feeling of loyalty seeped into their bones.
But when his majesty appointed Nambi as the governor of Amangkubumi, unexpected things arose.
The title of Patih Amangkubumi is for the governor at the center of the Majapahit kingdom. While the title of Patih was reserved for the governors of small kingdoms under the auspices of Majapahit. Kahuripan, Kediri, Matahun, Wengker, Pajang, each has a governor. So the position of Patih Amangkubumi is the same as the Mahapatih or the governor of the entire country. Amatya ring sanagara or the governor of the whole country is the one who runs the wheels of government for the whole country.
Thus, after a few moments of amazement in stunnedness, the blood of King Kertarajasa poured out. A hint of majesty radiated. Rangga Lawe is exaggerated, indulged in arrogance and seems to have no king at heart. In front of a grand meeting attended by all the royal inmates, he dared to insult the governor of Nambi, denounce the king.
Kertarajasa's eyes splashed with fiery lightning. His eyes flickered to the presumptuous Duke. It was as if a lump of pus was in a boil that was circling looking for a way to pop out. But when his eyes landed on Rangga Lawe's face, somehow, suddenly the flame of his anger dimmed. His Majesty was silent. His mind drifted to the past....'
In the past, when the Singasari Kingdom was defeated by the Daha troops, the Singasari troops led by Wijaya were destroyed. In fact, he himself was almost caught by Kebo Mundarang, the prime minister of Daha. After escaping from the pursuit of the enemy, Raden Wijaya and his followers headed to Sumenep to meet Wiraraja duke of Madura. Wirap remained loyal to Singarari and welcomed Raden Wijaya well. Wijaya was moved and immediately promised that if he could conquer the kingdom of Java in the future, he would be willing to share half of the kingdom with Wiraraja.
Adipati Wiraraja was very satisfied and happy. Soon he set up a plan to help Raden Wijaya. He suggested that Wijaya surrender to the king of Daha. Besides having to try to win the trust of the king Jayakatwang, the raden must pay attention to Daha's strength.
